An old saying has repeated its fate as our fruit of labour gave us the sweetness of winning the Catholic High School Annual Country Meet 2008.
PHILLIPPE RULES!
21st February, our fateful day as we gather. With ambience of joyous, excitement, jubilant, most importantly the spirit of Catholic High Family roamed the whole Bishan Park 1. Certainly, this has been the day I'm waiting for after three years of 2nds.
Three years had been hard but I thought it to be something worthy to wait for. Besides, this victory was not just brought by me, without the efforts from the rest of the Phillippians, we would not be able to reach such height. As i was telling the runners and myself that
"We are not just running for ourselves but for the house, for sec 4s, it's to left the heritage for our juniors to follow!"
Indeed, our efforts paid off for such a marvelous achievement for Phillippe winning the first Challenge Shield for Cross Country ever since this event began. Also, it's a heart warming for teachers who joined the Teachers' race and teachers who volunteered themselves at the back of the mass run pushing the slowers ones on. They put themselves on the front line, fighting the odds together with us.
Finishing the race was quite arduous for those who lack of fitness, yet I’m thankful for the majority who were able to complete the 3.5 km route. Earning the points was second priority then, overcoming their physical aspects took the centre stage.
Receiving the Challenge Shield definitely delights anyone, more importantly I felt Fate was still kind to me.
Edward House may have an interesting way of cheering on that day; the true limelight of the day absolutely will go to Mr. Steven Quay, who was such eye catching figure during the cheers of Noel House.
"WHO"S THE BEST!" incorporated of the hands around his head! "NOEL!" The crowd replied in shirk….
On the other hand, our Philippe cheers certainly a worthly opponent to all three houses with the coalition of the whole. In addition of the Ehengicious and Longicious! Who can resist the force! haha....
